European PlayStation Store Update for August 18, 2010

European PlayStation Store Update for August 18, 2010

SCEE's Ross McGrath of the PlayStation Store Team has posted up this weeks European PSN update today, as follows:

A quiet week this week since everyone who's anyone is at the big GC, but we've got a few nice bits and pieces for you to tide you over into September.

We have brand new demos of EA's NHL 11 and Ubisoft's H.A.W.X.2 for the PS3 crowd, along with a host of new add-ons for some great games.

As Richard already told you last week, Uncharted 2 gets a new skin pack, adding some more multiplayer characters for you to choose from (and don't forget the dynamic theme).

We've got two new characters for you to launch from your PAIN-a-pults, including Sergeant Jay and Jolly the Elf, (we figured August was the ideal time to give you a Christmas themed character). The final set of Marvel costumes releases this week as well, including Hulk, who I've heard is fond of smashing.

Six new PSP Essentials join the others on the Store, including a brand new digital release of Open Season, plus the latest LittleBigPlanet kits.

The real stars of the show this week are the oodles of Gamescom trailers we've got for you in glorious high-definition. All the big hitters are present and correct, with new trailers for KillZone 3, Motorstorm: Apocalypse, inFamous 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2, but don't forget to check out the PlayStation Move line up too - you've not got long left to save your pennies and hopefully these trailers will help you choose which titles to grab come launch day. May I suggest Sports Champions? Disc Golf is an office favourite.

That's all for now, your comments are appreciated as ever and I'll be here this afternoon to field them. Until next time, adios!

Played the NHL 11 demo and I just can't do it, its so different as FIFA 11 which is from the same company, I also don't know how that game works, the only game ive seen was the Olympic final this years (USA vs Canada) if im right?

Now playing the HAWX2 demo, thanks for update PS3News, the dutch websites are most times 5 hours later then this forum
